Chapter 21 Mystery in the Fog (4)(1/2)
This is a "voyeur's" perspective.
Long Qisheng was like a ghost attached to the voyeur, seeing a hazy scene through his eyes.
He squatted behind the trees and saw a person walking into the thick fog in front of him through the gaps between the branches and leaves.
After entering the thick fog, the fog in front of him suddenly changed and condensed into an exquisite revolving lantern, which fell on his hand.
The man was not surprised, put his hand on the revolving lantern and closed his eyes.
It's like an invisible pen is painting, and moving paintings gradually appear on the pure white gauze cover of the revolving lantern.
After a while, the man took away his hand, put the revolving lantern behind him, and strode forward.
The owner of this memory quietly followed him through the village, exchanged greetings with the villagers he met on the road, and then followed the man into the swamp to the east.
The fog in the swamp became thicker.
Colorful mushrooms grow on the roadside.
The owner of the memory carefully avoided these mushrooms and continued to follow the man deeper into the swamp.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, a huge mushroom appeared in the field of vision.
Hmm...it's not quite right to say it's a mushroom.
If you look closely, you will see that it is actually made up of countless slender vines condensed and twisted to form a shape similar to a thick mushroom. Overall, it looks a bit like King Oyster Mushroom.
The rattans that make up the big mushrooms come in many colors, and each one is bright and sparkling like jade.
This makes the entire big mushroom glow with a layer of colorful light, refracted in the fog, making it look like a dream.
It is estimated that the first reaction of ordinary people when seeing this big mushroom is: This is an incredible treasure!
After seeing the big mushroom, the man's expression became excited. He immediately ran to the big mushroom's feet, took out a sharp short knife, and wanted to dig out the big mushroom's body.
But just when he was about to use the knife, his body suddenly stiffened!
Then, he slowly turned around and looked into the thick fog, the panic on his face clearly visible.
The peeping eyes also looked in that direction, and seemed to have discovered something.
The thick fog rolled in, and a huge figure came out of the thick fog.
It was a huge two-headed beast, covered in green fur, shiny and smooth, with thick limbs, hooves like an ox, a tail like a scorpion, and a head like a lion.
There is a row of gray bone spikes on its back, its tail is pointed like a sharp blade, and its whole body is full of dangerous aura.
Its blue eyes shone with wisdom, and it was obviously no ordinary beast.
Long Qisheng immediately realized that this was a virtual spirit!
The man turned around and was about to run away, but Xu Ling didn't move. He shook his head on the left side and opened his mouth to spit out a bolt of thunder!
The man twitched several times and fell to the ground.
Xu Ling walked over unhurriedly, lowered his head and bit off half of the man's body, chewed it twice, and spat it out with a look of disgust on his face.
Then he walked to a cluster of bright red umbrellas, bit them off in one bite, chewed them while turning around and disappearing into the thick fog...
The memory ends here. I don’t know what happened next. There should be no backup.
As for other memory fragments, they are all daily trivial matters.
From these trivial matters, Long Qisheng still obtained some information. For example, this village is ruled by the village chief, and everyone will obey the village chief's orders unconditionally.
The village chief was a tall, cold-looking woman with a strong fighting spirit. The owner of this memory could witness the village chief hacking to death a powerful outsider who was causing trouble.
But it's hard to say how strong it is, since it can't be experienced personally.
The men in this village work in the mushroom processing factory and rarely come back, while the women are prohibited from going to the processing factory.
Only the village chief can go.
From the conversation between the memory owner and the neighbors, we know that selling humans is a very common thing here.
Men with spiritual power will sell their bodies just like Wu Hou. Men and women without spiritual power will be bought and made into blood food. If they are women with spiritual power, their worth will be doubled.
No wonder Tong Liayan didn't doubt him at first.
Kicking down the door is not a big deal, there are more traffickers who are more arrogant than him.
Long Qisheng checked the memories of several more lanterns, and they were all similar.
These lanterns are all villagers' lanterns, but I don't know why they are placed here. Are the owners of these lanterns dead?
Long Qisheng looked outside.
It seemed like a long time when he checked his memory, but in fact, less than two minutes had passed.
In just two minutes, Wu Hou had slaughtered all the villagers outside. At this time, Wu Hou had returned to his human form and was standing with his back to this side, not knowing what he was doing.
"Uncle!" Long Qisheng shouted.
Wu Hou did not respond.
Long Qisheng felt something bad in his heart. He picked up Tang Ying and walked out. He walked in front of Wu Hou and looked at him: "Uncle?"
"I'm a big idiot!" Wu Hou said with a smile.
????
"I don't allow you to talk about yourself like this!" Long Qisheng said seriously.
"You are a little idiot!" Wu Hou pointed at Long Qisheng and said with a smile.
hiss--
Long Qisheng realized that this was a side effect of his ability!
To have such social-killing abilities and side effects and still survive to this day, this uncle is no ordinary person!
"That girl just went to bring in reinforcements, we have to run quickly!" Long Qisheng handed Tang Ying to Wu Hou, "You carry this girl and follow me!"
Long Qisheng ran towards the place where they first woke up.
Through the memories he reviewed, Long Qisheng roughly understood the "rules" of Dafeng Village.
Anyone who enters this fog will get a revolving lantern. As long as they back up their memories on the revolving lantern, they will not be afraid of amnesia.
Just read the memory after amnesia.
And judging from the behavior of the villagers, even if the lantern is not around, they will not lose their memory. It may be that they break some "rules" or are attacked by mushrooms.
Unfortunately, all "rules" are common sense and cannot be forgotten, so there is no backup.
This raises a very important doubt:
When they woke up, they had no revolving door in their hands and had amnesia.
Therefore, it was not the time when they had just entered the fog. Perhaps they had been in for a while, and something happened during this time, causing them to lose their lanterns and their memories.
Their lantern must be recovered as soon as possible!
It should be near where they woke up.
Long Qisheng ran very fast, and Wu Hou followed closely behind him, carrying Tang Ying on his shoulders.
This made Long Qisheng very happy.
Although he has become a big fool, he is still an obedient big fool.
"You little idiot, your butt is so perky!"
"..."
Forget it, I take back what I just said, when will this guy get back to normal!
This kind of behavior makes me a little scared...
In the fog ahead, a thick black suddenly appeared!
Long Qisheng's pupils shrank and he braked suddenly!
What a strong murderous intention!
Bang!
There was a huge force coming from behind. Long Qisheng felt as if he had been hit by a heavy truck. He flew several meters away and fell to the ground, vomiting a mouthful of blood.
"Little idiot, why did you stop?"
Wu Hou looked at Long Qisheng who was knocked away by him with an innocent face.
Long Qisheng raised a trembling middle finger, looked at the shadowy figure in the thick fog in front of him, and shouted: "You idiot, there are a lot of enemies in front of you! Transform quickly!"
"Okay!"
Wu Hou put down Tang Ying and began to move his joints, stretching his arms and legs.
Long Qisheng got up, quickly retreated behind Wu Hou, picked up Tang Ying on his back, and reminded Wu Hou: "Don't be reluctant to fight, just kill out, let's run westward!"
"Okay!"
The person in front slowly walked out of the thick fog and was clearly visible.
To be continued...
